Question

A sample of Neon is in a sealed container held under isothermic conditions. The initial pressure and volume are 2.7 atm and 4.5 mL. If the final pressure is reduced to 1.7 atm, what is the final volume (in mL)?

Answer 1

The final volume in mL is 7.14 mL or 7.1 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Use Boyle's Law(
`P_(1) V_(1)= P_(2) V_(2)`). Re-arrange to solve for
`V_(2)` for the final volume.

2. Plug in values.
`V_(2) =((2.7 atm)(4.5 mL))/((1.7 atm)) = 7.14 mL`
